A fall arrest indicator is disclosed for indicating whether a fall arrest event has occurred, the fall arrest indicator includes an actuator, the actuator being reconfigurable between a first configuration and a second configuration; an electronic alarm circuit comprising an alarm for indicating a fall arrest event; and, activating means, wherein the activating means is arranged to reconfigure the alarm circuit between an inactive state in which the alarm is inactive and an operative state in which the alarm is activated, in dependence of a reconfiguration of the actuator between the first and second configurations.

Harnesses for supporting a person working at height are disclosed. They include a back, leg loops, two forward connection arrangements and a flexible load-bearing member that extends between the connection arrangements, the forward connection arrangements serving to transferring load from the back and the leg loops to the load-bearing member. Each forward connection arrangement includes: a base that is permanently connected to the harness and retention components that can be removably and rigidly connected to the base to removably secure the flexible load-bearing member to the body.

The invention is a rapidly adjustable, inherently safe, mobile climbing tree stand with harness of the type used by hunters to ascend and descend a tree and to furthermore remain seated in a fall protected mode while at height in a tree. The inherently safe tree stand has redundant fail safe fall protection and utilizes ANSI standard arborists ge

A bridge rope assembly includes a main body comprising a rope that has a first end and a second end. The rope has a splice therein to form an eye loop in the main body. The eye loop is configured to engage a first bridge loop of a harness. The main body comprises a first portion including the first end and a second portion including the second end. The first portion extends through the second portion of the main body such that the first end is positioned adjacent to the second end. A distance between the first and second ends is less than 2.0 inches.

Harnesses and methods of their manufacture are disclosed. The harnesses include a structural sub-assembly for use in construction of a waist band of a harness, the structural assembly including two primary load-bearing elements and a semi-loadbearing flexible substrate sheet, Each primary load-bearing element is formed from elongate, flexible textile webbing that extends, typically in a loop, that passes through multiple apertures in the sheet to form a woven structure with the sheet, Lengths of the two primary load-bearing elements (or one primary load-bearing element and another component of the structure) extend from a center line of the sheet upon one another and form a structure having three or more layers including the sheet The sub-assembly can be constructed by mounting the sheet on a jig and threading webbing components through apertures in the sheet prior to forming stitching to secure the webbing components.

A support harness with shock reducing elements includes a saddle with a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A pair of bridge connectors is attached to and extends outwardly from the saddle. The first and second lateral edges each has one of the bridge connectors positioned adjacent thereto. The bridge connectors each include a first strap section secured to the saddle adjacent to an upper edge thereof, a second strap section secured to the saddle adjacent to a lower edge thereof, and a central strap section extending between the first and second strap sections. The first strap section includes a plurality folds therein. A break-away fastener extends through the folds and breaks to release the plurality of folds when a predetermined amount of force is placed on the first strap.

A lightweight portable outdoor toilet system configured to support a user while facing toward a tree or another fixed anchor point during a personal moment. The system can be used to hover directly over the ground or with a detachable pouch configured to support a single use liner.

A convertible harness system which may be selectively transitioned between a utility belt, sit-harness, and full body harness, is herein disclosed. The convertible harness system may include a utility belt, a leg loop assembly, and a chest harness, wherein the leg loop assembly may be reversibly coupled to the utility belt by passing a primary attachment point of the leg loop assembly through an attachment slot/opening in the utility belt and securing the primary attachment point to the utility belt by girth-hitching the primary attachment point to the utility belt using a primary attachment loop coupled to the primary attachment point. The convertible harness system disclosed herein may enable a wearer rapidly and reversibly couple a leg loop assembly to a utility belt, without removing or unbuckling the utility belt, and without use of a carabiner or other conventional locking device.

A harness assembly for use in saddle hunting or other activities in which a human body is suspended includes an upper panel and a lower panel. Upper panel loops are connected to respective lateral edges of the upper panel. Lower panel loops are connected to respective lateral edges of the lower panel. First and second yokes interconnect the upper panel and the lower panel via fastening elements that are slidable along the loops, thereby permitting independent movement of the upper and lower panels. Accordingly, the upper and lower panels may be moved independently of one another so that a user may position the panels to conform to the user's body in various body positions.
